As a side note see a tutorial on urllib and requests and try them at the same time
see for python 3.x; 3.4 or 3.6 also see the data type received by the different combinations, when you should use .read() etc also use utf-8 or unicode like .decode("utf8") Well play around fool mess with it, feel free as when you'll do serious stuffs you won't need to test to know what should be done or not, what breaks it or not. summary : learn it well from the begining Finding the right package. Hum either in your beginner learning path you learn popular third party modules or You find how the people round the net did what you are doing, see how they did it and what modules they used or google "module <taskname>" or browse pypi or _long term_ never stop reading about python. so you'll constantly discover new things and reduce the probability of you not knowing how to do something.
